Sun Xianluo hesitated and said, "Southeast money, grain and taxes have declined year by year since the emperor ascended the throne. However, the court shirked the responsibility for many reasons. If the palace urged him to ask, he would only say that the emperor and the people compete for profit. However, as far as the old slave knows, this tax is mostly in the pockets of those rich gentry."

"I don't know what happened to me, but I can't help it."

Wanli was a little angry. Jiangnan was so prosperous. Since Taizu, he had been a heavy land for the Ming Dynasty for money and grain. However, after more than two hundred years of founding, various commercial taxes have never increased, and the fixed quota has decreased year by year. Although this aspect is the reason for the merger of land, the most important thing is that the merchants and gentry concealed the report. Otherwise, why did the money, grain and taxes have become less and less after two hundred years of prosperity?

What a strange thing, the most weird thing in the world!

But what does this matter have to do with Wei Liangchen's presidency of the Southeast Expansion of the Sea?

Before hesitation, Sun Xian said quickly: "I think I will never forget the Suzhou civil war change a few years ago, right? I think that the weaving eunuch Sun Long was determined to rectify the commercial tax, but was jointly expelled by Suzhou merchants. These Suzhou merchants and even gentry were extremely arrogant and could not be punished and openly resisted tax offenders, so that Sun Long did not dare to return to Suzhou until now... In view of this, the old slave agreed to Wei preside over the southeast expansion of the sea because Wei dared to act."

Speaking of this, Sun Long paused, "Emperor, although Wei Liangchen is not like that, he is very loyal to the emperor and the inner court."

"What do you mean?" Wanli seemed to understand what Sun Xian meant.

"If there is nothing in the palace, whether it is the southeast or the south of the Yangtze River, it will be nothing in the palace." After Sun Xian said that, he bowed.

Wanli's face suddenly changed, his eyes slighted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "A tiger does not show his power, he thinks I am a sick cat. Just follow yours. The southeast is not a porcelain shop. I let the good ministers make a breakthrough, and it is not my fault if they are broken!"

After saying that, Sun Xian drafted the order.

Sun Xian reiterated: "The Central Officer of Jiangnan is Xinli, and he is also responsible for the expansion of the sea in the southeast. The old slave thought that Wei Liangchen was the only one, and it was inevitable that he could not bear the manpower. The palace needs to send additional manpower..."

This is also a matter of course. The guardian government office is no better than the previous injustice and unjust maritime yamen. Not to mention the heavy responsibilities and power of the guardian government office, it is said that there are still separate guards and preparations under the guardians, and the positions of gun monitoring must be held as eunuchs. These are all sent by the palace, so Wei Liangchen will not be allowed to be there alone.

Wanli was reasonable and accurate without thinking, and ordered: "I went to Sili Supervisor to select eunuchs to go south to guard the yamen. Another..."

Wanli thought about it and ordered Sun Xian to order the East Factory and the Jinyiwei to ask the two departments to draw hundreds of lieutenants (fanzi) to go south for the commander of the Jiangnan yamen. But after all, he just didn't mention the funds for the Jiangnan yamen.

"The Emperor's Holy Spirit!"

Sun Xian felt relaxed. His Majesty's decree was that Sun Liangchen was in Jiangnan, but he wanted people, power, and prestige. As for the funding matter, it was difficult for the emperor to mention it. It depends on whether Wei Liangchen could maintain the yamen himself.

As the head of the palace and the head of the Sili Supervisor, Sun Xian really wanted to open up the situation in the southeast because the southeast was also jealous of the palace.

More importantly, he, the new official of the Sei-Prince, had to make some achievements to prove himself. He did not dare to interfere rashly in the matter of the Nine Borders, but he could do it to rectify the Southeast and restore the eunuch's status and reputation in the Southeast. After all, with the support of the Nanjing Governor's garrison, I would not dare to rebel openly by the wealthy families in the South.

Even if Sun Long, a weaving eunuch who was hiding in Hangzhou, could return to Suzhou again, Sun Xian would be very proud and glorious.

To achieve this goal, it really depends on whether his desperation, Wei Liangchen, dares to continue to "do things wrong" in Jiangnan.

Since the emperor had decided, Sun Xian would not say anything. He was going to the liexi supervisor to draft an order and issued an order to allocate personnel, but saw Bingbi Ma Tang walking in from outside the hall.

"Imperial Master, I just rushed back from Tianjin and learned that the emperor issued an order to establish the position of Jiangnan Central Guard. I was really surprised. Jiangnan has not had the position of Zhongguanguan since Taizu, but I don't know why the emperor was established? ... I was thinking on the way that the position of Jiangnan eunuch is really impossible."

Ma Tang went to Tianjin to get money. Although he promoted to Si Libing, the tax customs of Tianjin and Linqing were still in his hands. He also took a lot of money back to Tianjin this time, with the purpose of using this money to "bribe" the emperor and fulfill his wish to admiral Dongchang.

Seeing that Ma Cheng came back, Wanli looked happy, but when he heard that the eunuch in Jiangnan was unable to set up a position, he couldn't help but feel unhappy and asked casually: "Why can't set up a position?"

"I heard that Wei was young and frivolous, unscrupulous, disregarded human life, and was greedy, and relied on the emperor's favor to do something wrong in Jiangnan. How could such a person be guarded by Jiangnan? If His Majesty really decided to set up Jiangnan, he should choose a talented and upright person in the palace. He rashly asked Wei to have such an important task, wouldn't he let the outside court say that there is no one in my inner court?"

Ma Tang's resentment towards Wei Liangchen has never faded, even though he had never seen this little eunuch. But since Liangzi had already formed, Ma Eunuch could not let go easily. Especially the boy actually got the important position of eunuch in Jiangnan. How old is he? If he has to put it aside for another ten or eight years, wouldn't he go to the capital to write?

Wanli heard too much about Wei Liangchen's accusations and had long since caught a cold. Moreover, he was already moved by Sun Xian's statement, so he waved his hand and said, "I know what you said, and I have considered it. Although Wei Liangchen is young and a little ignorant, he is always smart and has a lot of ideas. He should be able to guard the situation."

But Ma Tang refused to accept it, and asked the emperor to take back Cheng's life, repeatedly saying that Wei was not worthy of such great use.

Sun Xian frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Eunuch Ma, the emperor's golden mouth has been opened. Can it be taken back? Don't say more."

"Don't Eunuch Sun know what kind of character Wei Liangchen is?" Ma Tang said in a silence.

"At a young age, it doesn't mean that you can't do errands. Are there fewer young people in the palace who have ever had? Wang Zhi of Chenghua Dynasty took charge of the Imperial Horse Supervision at the age of fourteen and went out to supervise the military. He didn't see any mistakes. He did all the errands properly. Wei Liangchen is a few years older than Wang Zhi, and he is also the head of the palace. He is smart and smart, and he is quite valued by the imperial concubine and the emperor. He doesn't need to say much about Eunuch Ma."

Sun Xianyi has made up his mind, and you will follow the order of Ma Tang. If you say too much, your Majesty will be unhappy and will be in vain.

Ma Tang naturally heard Sun Xian's words that he wanted to continue to oppose the matter, but he looked up and saw the emperor holding a book to read it. However, he didn't dare to object anymore, and turned to his trip to Tianjin.

Wanli's spiritual leader came up, threw the book on the table, and asked in detail how much tax and silver Ma Tang had collected when he went to Tianjin.

Seeing this, Sun Xian bowed and said, "The emperor, the old slave will leave, so I will go to the prison to write an order."
